LOS ANGELES — Walt Disney Co CEO Bob Iger has teamed up with the National Football League's Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers to try to build them a stadium in a Los Angeles suburb, backers of the project said in a statement on Wednesday.
Iger has been named non-executive chairman of Carson Holdings LLC, the joint venture between the two teams that is working with the city of Carson, California, on a project to build a stadium in the city.
He will continue as Disney's chairman and CEO, and will not be required to do anything that conflicts with that role, the statement from Carson Holdings said.
